The Best Way to Start the Day

Thanks for the birthday wishes, everyone. Here's my day so far.

5:30 am Woke up at work5:45 am Got ready for work...at work6:20 am Got the paper. Turned off the porch lights. Started the dishwasher.6:30 am Drank morning tea. Recalled dreams. Contemplated future meals.7:00 am Faced the breakfast crowd--a lively group from whom I thankfully managed to keep The Big Secret.8:30 am Birthday wishes from Wonderboss. Officially off work.8:45 am Breakfast destination suggested by me, chosen by LaFalda and phoned in to the Rocket household.9:00 am Accidental birthday wishes from random strangers at neighboring tables.9:10 am Intentional birthday wishes from a sassy waitress.9:15 am Two plus hours of giant cinnamon rolls (though I have to say I've seen bigger), two and three egg omelette controversies, ketchup floods, and the best darn conversation in the West. (For proof, just check out LaFalda's quote book--something about cysts tasting better than you'd think and young looking 60 year olds being mighty expensive).

(L to R: LaFalda, Rocket and P.)This picture looks like poo. I mean the picture quality, not the subjects, of course. You can click on it to make it look better. Really, how many things can you say that about? I wish you could do that with mirrors sometimes. Notice the giant griz paw/claw behind LaFalda's head? In Missoula, that equals classy joint. You may recognize the guy on the right from the Dating Game. Or you may not, and that would probably make him happy.
